Target doesn't like to hire people with experience because then they have to pay them more. There's tons of better companies you could work for then Wal-mart #2. Ooops I mean Target...
My uncle got promoted to an ETL without any college, but that was also 30 years ago (Yeah he's still an ETL) That was in the good times of target where Experience outweighed Education.
Now you need college..or at least that's what He told me.
